This past weekend’s Teen Summit to discuss relations between the AfricanAmerican community and police officers may have begun with a prayer to make us “one Renton” and ended with everyone taking a deep breath, but in between there were open, frank discussions and honest pleas for understanding from both sides. Hosted by the City of Renton and a group of African-American clergy members, the summit sought ways to bridge gaps and improve relationships between minority teens and the police force following several high-profile incidents around the country such as in Ferguson, Mo., or Baltimore. “This is the beginning of many opportunities when we will come together as a community,” said Dr. Linda Smith, pastor
a community issue.” Approximately 85 people of all races and ages attended the summit, held at Renton High School, including pastors, teens, city officials, police officers and members of the community. Police Chief Kevin Milosevich opened the proceedings talking about the “disconnect” that has developed between law enforcement and some members of the community, particularly young people, calling it a “crisis of law enforcement.” Milosevich said that Renton’s diversity continues to increase and though there have been no real problems in Renton, he said he has had discussions over the past several months and knows that public, especially young people, has lost some trust in law enforcement. “Without public trust, we can’t do our job,” he said. “It only takes a few incidents
The Renton Fire Department will be stepping up its fireworks ban enforcement this year and has a new strategy to help quiet the booms that regularly ring out this time of year, despite the illegality. Fireworks have been banned in Renton since 2005 thanks to a voter initiative that outlawed the explosive devices. But each year, police and fire officials still receive hundreds of 911 calls about fireworks. Last year, for example, the fire department responded to 128 fireworks-related incidents. In 2013, there were 100 calls. According to Renton Fire Marshal Angela St. John, this year, the fire department is creating three enforcement teams that will be deployed to specific geographic areas that have seen a large number of enforcement calls in the past.

Springbrook Trout Farm opens again BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
One of Renton’s hidden gems and favorite family pastimes is back up and running after recent renovations and extended closure. Springbrook Trout Farm, established some 70 years ago, is now open for its “Ufish” or self-serve fishing sessions after having been closed off-and-on for the past several years. If you grew up in the area, you might have visited the place as a child with your daycare or elementary school. Springbrook is still a popular place for elementary school groups, birthday parties and family reunions, according to Trout Farm Manager Tami Thueringer. She’s worked at the farm since 2000, left in 2007 to attend college and get married and recently returned as the manager. Her uncle, Jerry Thueringer, is the owner. Before her time, the farm started out as a saw mill in the 1940s. Then it became a fish farm for railroad workers and eventually the “U-fish” trout farm that it is today. “So what’s neat is that we’re grandfathered into Springbrook Creek,” said Thueringer. “With all the regulations now around creeks and how far you have to stay away from them, it’s very unlikely you could go anywhere and build something like this today.” The six-acre farm has holding tanks for live fish sales and ponds for fishing. Thueringer and her crew have recently done a lot of landscaping, weeding, raking and pruning of fruit trees to restore the farm to its past glory. They’ve cleaned the rearing tanks, added play chips to play and viewing areas, fixed sewer lines and added French drains. They’ve

uncovered old landscaping that was previously covered by vines and made improvements to the treehouse, which is made of remnants of the old saw mill. The rustic treehouse is easier to get up than to get down and Thueringer has had to rescue a few kids, but all seem to enjoy the improvements made to the kids’ play area. The natural creek starts just beyond the farm property and runs into Springbrook Farm where it is diverted into three ponds for small, medium and large rainbow trout.
The farm charges by length so customers can decide what price range they can afford. The trout used to be hatched on site, but now they are brought in from another family-owned fish farm, Nisqually Trout Farm in Lacey. Customers receive what Thueringer calls “little Huck Finn poles,” a bucket and homemade bait

for their fishing adventure. Last Thursday, the farm hosted a birthday party for a group of elementary school-aged children. After receiving the rules from Thueringer, the party-goers each got their fishing poles and headed down to one of the ponds. There were squeals of excitement and laughter as children marveled at their catch. “You’ve got all these kids who, where we live, didn’t grow up next to a creek or didn’t grow up with parents who went fishing because there’s a lot of money involved in your license and tackle and driving somewhere and finding a lake,” said Thueringer. Because the ponds are stocked almost every two weeks, visitors are almost guaranteed to catch a fish at Springbrook Trout Farm. “They come here; they catch one right away and they’re so excited,” said Thueringer. “It’s usually everyone’s first fish, you know, little kids who come here.” The visitors also get a lesson in fish anatomy, once the fish are caught and cleaned at the trout shack. Thueringer admits that sometimes fish escape into a drain or through a screen and the farm accidentally contributes to the population of the creek that runs through it. The staff at the farm continues to work to renovate the property. The farm is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., May 1 to Sept. 30, 2015. No fishing license is required.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:
“Without public trust, we can;t do our job. It only takes a few incidents to create a huge issue.” - Police Chief Kevin Milosevich at the city’s first Teen Summit this past Saturday.
Conflicting agendas in battle over state police building To lease or to own, that is the question. It’s vexed state lawmakers for months as they consider moving the Washington State Patrol into new digs. The House and Senate can’t agree on the answer, adding fuel to the interminable political wrangling in Olympia that’s pushed the state ever closer to a shutdown. It puts at risk a new state construction budget that would pay for such things as a new cafeteria at Marysville Pilchuck High School and a Washington State University building in Everett. Here’s the problem: The General Administration building on the Capitol Campus is an aging edifice capable of collapse in the next good-sized earthquake. Lawmakers want to relocate its occupants, many of whom work for the State Patrol. Two years ago, they settled on a plan to tear down another state-owned building a couple blocks away and replace it with a gleaming new energy efficient one for the State Patrol and other agencies. The 2013-15 capital budget contained cash for demolition and design. But they messed up the language in a way that made it impossible for the state treasurer to sell the bondlike “certificates of participation” needed to finance construction. When Rep. Hans Dunshee, D-Snohomish, the project’s chief cheerleader and chairman of the House Capital Budget Committee set out to fix it this year he found the Republican-led Senate no longer wants to proceed. Sen. Jim Honeyford, R-Sunnyside, architect of the Senate capital budget, said his party now figures it might be cheaper to lease existing office space rather than build something new. They want a fresh analysis of the options before moving ahead. But Dunshee said that’s not the reason for the change of heart. He contends it’s because of the influence of an Arlington businessman, Brent McKinley, who spent generously to help elect Republican senators in the 2014 election and could benefit generously if the Senate approach is followed. McKinley makes his living from renting office space to state agencies. His company, Vine Street Group, collects roughly $2 million a month from 17 leases in Thurston County alone, according to state data provided by Dunshee. “I can’t show you the handshake. I can show you the fingerprints,” Dunshee said. “If they look at anything except for what Brent McKinley shows them they would understand.” He said those “fingerprints” are the $30,000 in contributions McKinley and his wife made in 2014 to the Leadership Jerry Cornfield

OPINION
[4] June 26, 2015
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
District, city should be ashamed of Tiffany Park development decision
As a recently incorporated resident of the City of Renton in the Fairlane Woods area of Tiffany Park, I am deeply concerned for our neighborhood, the people and children who live here. This development will destroy a beautiful piece of natural land. Never has the Renton School District EVER posted “no trespassing” signs on this parcel of land. “No tree cutting or dumping” are the only signs with the mark of the Renton School District. When we purchased our house in June 2001 we became aware of the greenbelt that is surrounded on two sides by the Seattle water pipeline. It became a refuge to the people who live here to be out and about whether weekday or weekend, walking, bicycling, walking our dogs and conversing with neighbors, appreciating nature at its best. The deer, eagles, herons, hawks and all other woodland creatures let us know that life goes on even though our hectic lives get the best of us.
As I look out my patio door, I can’t imagine what this will look like soon. Trees gone, birds gone, construction of 96 new homes. Yes, 96! Noise, noise, noise. I am ashamed of the Renton School District and the Renton City Council who we look up to to do what is right, becoming part of a “Lorax” scenario. Make sure someone saves the seeds of the last trees, the water for the natural wetlands and the eagles and herons who like to stop for a rest Oh yes, money! Money talks and the people can go away. Maybe we will. Leave Renton to a treeless forest with nothing but blacktop and immature trees planted by the developer which can’t survive our hard winter. The winds when they come will not be able to be stopped by a forested break to calm them. The dust will fly for years. We can blame and will blame the Renton School District and the Renton City Council for the destruction of our property. We will hold them responsible for the damage to our lives. Patricia Lynn, Renton

Council, the campaign arm of the Senate Republican Caucus. McKinley also donated last year to the campaigns of individual GOP senators including Honeyford, as well as to Rob Toyer, Dunshee’s Republican opponent. He also gave to Democratic Congressman Rep. Rick Larsen last year and to Dunshee in 2012. Brent McKinley declined repeated requests for interviews. Jeremiah McKinley, another Vine Street executive, said in an email it’s the company’s policy not to comment to the media. He referred questions to the lobbyist for the Govern-
ment Building Owners and Lessors Association (GBOLA) to which McKinley’s company belongs. Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler rejected Dunshee’s suspicions. He questioned whether Dunshee’s zeal to construct an expensive green building might be out of a desire to fulfill the agenda of Tom Steyer, the California billionaire who underwrites environmental causes and Democratic candidates in Washington. Meanwhile, the debate continues on which is the better financial deal for taxpayers.
Dunshee says the state will spend about as much money building a new structure as it would in monthly rent for roughly 25 years. Then the mortgage for the $82 million project will be paid off and the savings begin. He calculates that after 75 years – his estimated life of the building - it will add up to $800 million in avoided rent payments. Honeyford and GBOLA consultants dispute the math. Rent won’t rise as much as Dunshee assumes and the lawmaker failed to factor in the cost of [ more CORNFIELD page 7 ]

ongoing maintenance as buildings age. A quarter century is a long time. Honeyford said the estimated cost per square foot has climbed since 2013 and he’s concerned it’s not done rising. Dunshee isn’t surrendering. “It was in once,” he said. “It is the right thing to do.” Will it be in the final budget deal or not be in, that is the question yet to be answered.

the branches only have flowers at the tips of the branches and the rest of the stems are rather bare. I do water and use a fertilizer and the basket gets sun. Please help. T.P., Olympia Help is right at your fingertips. Petunias need to be pinched and pinched often. All petunias bloom at the tips of branches and the more you create branching by removing the tips the more flowers you will have on bushier plants. Your leggy petunia basket may need an extreme makeover with the pruning shears. Cut back the long branches so that they are 6 to 8 inches tall. Fertilize and stand back. New branching will begin and new blooms will follow and in a few weeks you will have a full and flowering petunia basket once again – but don’t forget to keep pinching all summer. I have planted sedums called Hens and Chicks inside an old metal lunch bucket and have received many complements about the display. Several of the individual sedums have started flowering and I have heard this means they will now die. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? I chose to grow sedum Hens and Chicks because I was told they were impossible to kill! I cannot enjoy the flowers knowing that the plants will now die. M., Email Don’t count your dead chicks before they flower. It is true that sedum sempervirens will fade and die after they flower but the Latin name means “lives forever” because once the mother plant or hen dies several baby chicks hatch or sprout to take her place. Pluck out any faded hens to make room for the chicklings. These circular shaped sedums will grow in thick rosettes even if you don’t remove the blooming plants but avoid fertilizing sedums to discourage flowering. In Europe Hens and Chicks are called “House Leaks” as they are used to fill in the cracks and patch up leaks on old tile roofs.

The end of June is the time to do some summer pruning. If you cut back early to bloom perennials now you’ll be rewarded with a second flush of flowers. Tall and spiky plants like delphiniums and foxglove can be pruned as soon as the tallest spike has faded flowers and this will allow side shoots to take over for weeks of more color. Bushy bloomers such as coreopsis and daisies can also be sheared back by one half once the flowers fade and a whole new crop of buds will appear. In the vegetable garden use scissors to prune and harvest cut and come again leaf lettuce and you’ll see new leaves popping up to replace the old. How does one keep sweet peas in bloom? Mine had one display of flowers and now the vines are turning yellow. I see lovely sweet peas at the farmer’s markets so I know they must still be blooming. D.D., Puyallup Sweet peas have one simple demand to keep them in bloom – pick the flowers. Once you allow the flowers to fade on the vine and seeds to start forming the blooming party is over and the plant goes into decline. The best time to harvest sweet peas is in the morning when they are full of moisture. Cut the flower stem close to the main stalk and have a bucket ready to place the blooms immediately into water. Sweet peas like cool soil so a fresh mulch of compost on top of their roots part way through the summer will also help to extend the blooming season. Share the cut flowers with by placing jars of blooms in public spaces like libraries and the post office. This random act of kindness will encourage more sweet peas to bloom in your own garden. I have a petunia hanging basket that was full of flowers when I received it for Mother’s Day. Now

City receives Livability Award for diversity program The City of Renton was honored this weekend with a 2015 Outstanding Achievement City Livability Award for its diversity program. Mayor Denis Law on Saturday received the award as part of the The U.S. Conference of Mayors’ 83rd Annual Meeting in San Francisco. The conference was kicked off with a luncheon speech by President Barak Obama. This is the 36th year in which cities have competed for the award, which is sponsored by the Conference of Mayors and Waste Management, Inc. The award recognizes mayoral leadership in developing and implementing programs that improve the quality of life in America’s cities, focusing on the leadership, creativity, and innovation demonstrated by the mayors. This year’s winning cities were selected by former mayors from a pool of over 200 applicants. “I am proud to accept the Outstanding Achievement City Livability Award on behalf of Renton,” Law said in a press release. “This award reflects the importance my administration has placed on embracing diversity and building an inclusive city with opportunities for all. Our strategy has focused on community collaboration and developing a creative, effective and results-oriented program to engage and serve our diverse community.” Alex Oseguera, Waste Management’s Vice President and General Manager, Northern California-Nevada, presented the awards during the annual luncheon in San Francisco. “It is a privilege for Waste Management to partner with the USCM and honor the Mayors working to enhance their cities’ quality of life, which the City Livability Awards represent,” Oseguera said. “For more than 26 years, Waste Management has sponsored the Awards because as the leading provider of comprehensive waste and environmental solutions for North America, our services are vital to the quality of life of cities and communities across the nation.” “Our City Livability Awards Program gives us the opportunity to highlight mayoral leadership in making urban areas cleaner, safer, and more livable,” said Tom Cochran, CEO and Executive Director of the Conference of Mayors. “We are grateful to Waste Management for its many years of support for the City Livability Awards Program, and for the opportunity to showcase the innovation and commitment of mayors and city governments across the country.” In addition to the two top awards, which went to Boston, Mass. and Hattiesburg, Miss., Outstanding Achievement Awards were given to five cities with populations of 100,000 or more - Charleston, S.C., Irvine, Calif., Kansas City, Mo., Louisville, Ky., and Philadelphia, Penn. - and five cities with populations of less than 100,000 - Carmel, Ind., Orland Park, Ill., Renton, Rochester Hills, Mich., and Sunrise, Fla. Honorable Mention citations for cities with populations of 100,000 or more went to Arlington, Texas, Houston, Texas, Memphis, Tenn., and Seattle. Citations for cities with populations of less than 100,000 went to Camuy, Puerto Rico, Davie, Fla., Norwalk, Conn., and Westland, Mich.

Woody Smith and Dan Sullivan pose for a photo at L.A. Frames. JARIS ENGLISH, For the Renton Reporter girlfriend down a street in Capital Hill. They stepped into an art-framing store. The owner asked him if he had any art experience, because he was hiring. At first Dan said no, but then told the owner he had painted all his life and knew a lot about art. He came back the next day for an interview. He tucked his waist length hair into his collar, and stiffly walked into the store. He was hired and would start on Monday. On that day, he came to work with his hair free and flowing. The owner’s wife came in, walked by him, and then he heard her shouting “He’s a d*** hippie!” at her husband in the next room. Dan cut his hair the next day. It was years later, before the owner finally asked Dan, “You didn’t know a thing about art when I hired you, did you?” The owner, Al Cannole, eventually moved the business to Renton. Dan went with him to work in the Renton store. In chasing all the musical equipment.

The Creative Side
had two reasons to visit the framing store called LA Frames on Third Street in Renton. First of all, I wanted to have the two watercolor paintings framed that I had purchased from local artist Louis Anderson. Plus, I had heard so much about the store from our local artists that I was hoping to interview the owner for The Creative Side column. I asked owner Dan Sullivan if he would be willing to talk to me so I could write about him and his role in the art scene of Renton. He was a bit shy about the idea, but he hesitantly agreed. First we looked at framing possibilities for the paintings. We worked together to choose the best matting and frames. The framing of a work of art is an important creative aspect of the artistic process. The artist is best at selecting a frame that completes his or her vision, and an artist wants to work with a framer who can understand that vision. But many times, an art buyer has an unframed work of art, and this is where the creative abilities of the framer are very important. But since he was busy with a large order, I agreed to come back another day for the interview. When I returned, I found out he had been born in Spokane, but moved to the Seattle area and went to Washington State University, majoring in psychology. This was during the late sixties, and he admitted that he was more interested in participating in Vietnam War protests than he was in his studies. “I was an out-and-out hippie, chanting anti-war songs with my guitar in a Seattle Park. When the draft lottery announced
the numbers, my six friends and I in the dorm where ecstatic to find out that we had very high numbers,” he said. “The lower the number, the sooner you might find yourself in Saigon.” In his fourth year of college, Dan dropped out. With his hair to his waist and his beloved guitar, he started a rockn-roll band. Touring in their Volkswagen bus, which he described as a “piece of junk,” they played gigs as far as Portland, Ore. I asked Dan the name of his band, and he said they changed their name many times and he couldn’t remember any of them. “We were pretty loose back then,” he offered In Portland, he was in charge of pur-

LOST CASH: A 61-year-old Seattle woman reported she lost $9,000 to $12,000 at Walmart on Rainier Avenue May 28 that she got from the sale of a sailboat. The money, all in $100 bills, was in her purse that doesn’t close. She had purchased a cellphone and belt and never let the purse out of her sight. She delayed reporting the missing money because she had to sail the boat to a new location for the new owner. Security video showed her pulling out a large bundle of cash to make a purchase, but she didn’t leave anything behind nor did she drop something.

...obituaries Jordan Robert Bumgarner
Jordan Robert Bumgarner, born April 24, 1993, passed away on June 21, 2015 in the comforting presence of his parents, Melinda and John and his brother, Aaron. Jordan’s adventurous spirit, giving nature, and positive outlook will be deeply missed by his grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, countless friends and his eleven-month-old chocolate lab, Otis. Jordan attended Sierra Heights Elementary School, McKnight Middle School, and graduated from Hazen High School in 2011. A talented athlete and gifted leader, Jordan was captain of the Hazen football team and was selected to play in the Class 4A/3A East-West All-Star exhibition. He played soccer, was on the Highlanders’ Track and Field team and was actively involved in DECA, a student marketing and business association. After high school, Jordan studied Health and Physical Education at Washington State University, where he was a member of the Washington State Rugby Football Club and a dedicated and much loved youth counselor at the Pullman YMCA. Jordan had the courage to face any challenge and the confidence that nothing could stop him. In September, 2014, he completed the thirteen-mile Round the Rock Stand Up Paddle Board event around Mercer Island, raising money for Athletes for Cancer. Jordan embraced new experiences and was fearless. His magnanimous character and passion for life made him a true inspiration to all who were fortunate enough to know him. A memorial service to celebrate Jordan’s life will be held at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, 1700 Edmonds Avenue NE, Renton, WA on Sunday, June 28th at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in memory of Jordan be made to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA). 1350537

She locked the doors but he got inside through a broken window and began the assault again. She was able to escape. The suspect was found about an hour later on North Landing Way, not far from where the assault occurred. He was booked into the county jail for investigation of second-degree assault. He asked for an attorney and didn’t answer questions. At the jail he made an unsolicited comment: “The bump on her head is from an abscess. It is infected.” The victim was taken to Valley Medical Center for treatment of her injuries.

A 37-year-old man received a deep cut to the head May 29 during an argument over a lighter near Fred Meyer on 108th Avenue Southeast. A large pool of blood had formed on the ground around the man’s head when officers arrived. The suspect had fled. A K9 unit began a track just after 8 p.m. Meanwhile, a 28-year-Renton man caught the attention of a King County sheriff ’s deputy when he ran across State Route 167 to Southwest 41st Street. It was soon determined the man was the suspect in the assault moments earlier. He told officers he became infuriated when the victim refused to return his lighter. He hit the victim in the head with his elbow,
CLERK INJURED OVER BEER THEFT: A store clerk was hit in the head early on May 31 when two men, including one in a wheelchair, tried to steal to six packs of beer from a convenience store on Rainier Avenue South. The men entered the store at about 2:30 a.m. and found only one of the coolers unlocked. The clerk walked toward them. He took the beer from the man in the wheelchair, but the second man hit him in the head. The clerk grabbed the man and they fell to the floor in a struggle. The suspect, a 19-year-old Renton man, was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of fourth-degree assault.

a young white girl, who said she recently moved to Renton from a smaller town where she knew all the police officers by name. Another white woman said always sees police officers as “keeping the peace,” though another African-American woman at the table disagreed “That uniform is very intimidating,” she said. At many tables, community members also used the opportunity to question the officers at the their table about their perceptions. One officer explained that police often react based on the energy and attitude of the person they are talking to and if that person is agitated or angry, the police feed off that. Following the group discussions, the group reconvened as a whole as Smith and Milosevich took turns answering questions that came from the individual tables. One teen girl asked about why multiple officers respond to stops, saying that seeing that many police officers surround a car causes a fear response for those in the car in the same way furtive actions may cause one in the officers. Officers explained that it is not unusual for additional units to arrive at a scene for officer safety, though the “vast majority” of
police contacts are one-on-one, though it seemed the answer did little to satisfy the teen’s concerns. Another question asked about the diversity of the police force reflecting that of the community and Milosevich admitted it did not. Currently, the City is about 49 percent white - one of two majority minority cities in the county - while the police force is closer to 80 percent white. Milosevich said that is partially a reflection of the times people were hired, adding that Renton’s diversity has “blown up” in the past 10 years as the city grew, though many officers were hired prior to that. He also said they have made “strides” in the past couple of years, this year hiring two female and two black officers, but said the competition for minority officers is very high and only about 5 percent of the current applicant pool applying for multiple jurisdictions is black. “It’s a math issue,” he said. He also said the police department is the most diverse department in the city. After the questions, the group reviewed the top issues from each table and nearly every smaller group came to the same conclusion: what is needed is more positive interaction between the community and the
police department, including personal engagement when there is not a problem and interactions when the officer is not on a call. Individual groups also stressed respect in both directions, from police treating individuals with respect during interactions and teens learning to respect the authority of officers so as not to create a situation when there is not one. “Perception is reality,” said Pastor Mike Thomas, calling for a “a mutual appreciation that threats begat threats.” As time ran down, Thomas, who opened the meeting with a prayer, called for everyone to take “a deep breath.” Following the discussion, Milosevich said it was nice to see a large turnout and that he felt it was good conversation that needed to be had. “We all want the same thing,” he said. But not everyone felt the summit was as useful as hoped. Christopher Robinson, 22, said he has seen some minor issues, but it did seem the Renton Police hoped to build on positive interactions. However, he said he felt as though without really addressing the past it would be tough to have a “fresh start” between the police and the community. A group of teens outside following the meeting also said it went well and they hope the police will view them in a better light, but added they hope the city’s take-away is that teens are not adults and therefore the contact with them needs to be different because they don’t always understand the situation in the same way adults do. Kimberly Thomas, who brought her children to the meeting said she wanted her children to see the police in a different light and to learn some procedural information, that two police cars at a scene is normal, for instance. She called the meeting “eye-opening” and said it was worth the time and an opportunity to build trust, echoing one of the common themes Smith reiterated throughout the event. “When we work together united as one,” Smith said, “we can do great things in our community.”

to create a huge issue.” Milosevich also said the hope to explain some police procedures and teach teens what to do when contacted by a police officer, explaining that the most important thing from an officer’s perspective is a subject’s hands and what he or she is doing with them. But the chief also said that meetings like the teen summit gave him a new perspective, including an “A-ha moment” that came when he learned that while all parents want the best for their children’s future, but that the main hope from the African American pastors and parents with whom he has spoken is simply to see their kids “survive.” Smith also said the goal of many was to have officers see African Americans - and males in particular - “as human beings.” “Not every African American male you see is a criminal,” she said. As the room broke into groups for a more detailed discussion about steps to increase cooperation and build trust between young adults and law enforcement, the same topics were echoed again and again. At each table, a police officer and a pastor facilitated the discussion with citizens and many of the teens recounted stories and shared their honest perceptions of police. At one table, a young black man talked about walking in Tukwila when police contacted him about a fight elsewhere in the community. “The way they encountered us already made us feel like criminals,” he said, adding that he did not feel innocent until proven guilty, though he did admit that he has not had similar problems in Renton, though the incident affects his perception of police. At another table, a pastor’s son said the first thing he feels when seeing a police officer is “alarmed,” even when he knows he is not doing anything wrong. “One wrong move I make will decide whether I get home safely,” he said. The view came as surprise to a white parent at the table, who said he knows his son does not view police in the same way. “I have really different experiences,” said

www.rentonreporter.com Nick Hill, president of the Renton Downtown Partnership, solicits feedback from area residents about revitalization ideas for the downtown Renton core at a recent meeting. TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter
[ DOWNTOWN from page 1]
Ragland said. She was one of about 100 people who turned out for a meeting of the Renton Downtown Partnership to see what might be the future of the downtown core. The partnership’s board of directors held a community-wide gathering Monday night to solicit input from area business owners and residents on how downtown Renton could grow. Mayor Denis Law opened up the discussion saying that while The Landing has enjoyed huge success for its mix of housing and retail, it is not the downfall of downtown Renton. It’s a matter of getting the right dynamic downtown, he said. He envisions the core to be more of a neighborhood than a thoroughfare with people shopping on pedestrianfriendly streets, not just passing through. Several people in the audience brought up the issue of crime downtown and Law said that the perception of crime is greater than the actual numbers, although the numbers aren’t down, he said. “It is my hope that we will have a regular, highly-visible police presence,” Law said. That was good news for Ragland and others who attended the meeting and complained about areas such as the transit center being overrun with lawbreakers and trash.

Legendary Martial Arts Supply said his business has been broken into four times in the last year, twice in the last two weeks. He hadn’t made his mind up about the partnership yet, but came to the meeting hoping for some discussion about crime in the area. Vacca is looking for the police to step it up. He’s considering moving his business out of the city, if he doesn’t see change immediately. “I just know something down here in Renton has to happen and happen quickly and I don’t see this type of organization doing anything quickly,” Vacca said. He said he would listen, but would become disinterested if the organization looked like another layer of bureaucracy. Others were much more optimistic of the effort. Resident and President of Arts Unlimited Paul Hebron compared it to doubters who cut Michael Jordan from his high school basketball team and others who told Oprah Winfrey she would never make it in television. “So it’s not how many times you fail or how many times or how many years ago you failed,” Hebron said. “It’s how many times you get up and you keep trying.” Hebron was confident that the partnership could be the vehicle for change in downtown Renton. “I think you have this many business owners, property owners out here; you’ve got the mayor and representatives from city council, so that’s a step,” he said. Currently, the partnership has between 50 and 60 volunteers committed to the project. They run the gamut from business owners to nonprofits to the arts to community organizations. Hill was surprised at the number of people who turned out to the meeting. It was more than he expected. “There’s a lot of interest in what’s going on in downtown Renton and I think there’s a lot of positive energy and a lot of people who want to improve Renton and make it a better place for everybody,” Hill said.

A Bigger Picture
M
any of us assume that domestic violence isn’t much of a problem. We think that it doesn’t happen in our communities or that we don’t know anyone who has been impacted by an abusive relationship. But, the numbers suggest otherwise. One in three women and one in seven men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. And, an average of one million people in the United States is physically assaulted by an intimate partner every year. Odds are someone you know has been impacted by domestic violence. With such a daunting problem, it can be difficult to believe that we can address the issues at hand. We aren’t all police officers, judges, hospital employees, or domestic violence advocates. But, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t all able to step in to intervene or to prevent violence in our community. It starts with acknowledgment, willingness to help, and a conversation about solutions. We can talk to our friends and family members about what healthy relationships look like. We can learn about the red flags of abusive relationships. And, in Washington State, we can contact a local domestic violence program in every community, like DAWN (Domestic Abuse Women’s Network) in South King County. Contacting a DAWN advocate is free, confidential, and available to anyone looking to learn more about intimate partner violence. DAWN Advocates and professionally trained volunteers are available 24/7 to talk about your concerns regarding safety and resources and to offer support. These services are available to those who are interested in supporting a family member or loved one who is experiencing abuse as well. To find support and to learn more about DAWN’s services, please visit dawnonline.org or call us at 425656-4305 or toll free at 877465-7234. We also invite you to join us on October 3rd, 2015 for DAWN’s annual Evening of Promise auction event. You can participate by volunteering, making an in-kind donation, or through sponsorship. Visit dawnonline.org/ get-involved/evening-of-promise.

hot and dry weather predicted thorough the holiday, fire danger is very high. Statewide, fire officials also urge extreme caution. In 2014 there were 432 fireworksrelated injuries reported in Washington. There were also 155 fires that resulted in $320, 240 in damage, including $161,050 in damages to residential structures, according to a release from the state fire marshal. Sixty-six of the injuries were caused by devices illegal in the state. Brennan Phillips, explosive enforcement officer with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was in Renton this month to provide examples of the dangers of both legal and illegal fireworks, with an emphasis on dangerous illegal and homemade devices, like M-80s and tennis ball bombs. Phillips showed the damage the explosives could do by demonstrating their power on wooden dummies and urged parents to keep an eye out for the illegal devices. The city is hosting a professional fireworks display at Coulon Park as part of its

Each team will consist of a fire inspector and a firefighter. “We’re going to have a more specific approach rather than chasing 911 calls,” St. John told the council Monday. St. John on Tuesday said the three locations were not yet set as the department was still analyzing the calls from the previous two years. In addition, St. John said a single firefighter will be designated to collect all of the fireworks confiscated by enforcement teams. In the past, that job was split among many leading to some confusion. Though some fireworks are legal in the state of Washington and in unincorporated King County, the personal discharge of fireworks is prohibited in Renton, including July 4 and New Year’s Eve. St. John said Renton fire officials plan to
provide fireworks retailers in unincorporated King County with maps showing city boundaries, in the hopes that buyers will not bring any of the devices into the city. “It’s important if you’re buying them in Fairwood, you light them in Fairwood,” Mayor Denis Law reiterated Monday. Violators are subject to both criminal and civil citations, confiscation of fireworks and possible fines of $100 to $500. Additionally, the sale, possession, or use of explosive devices such as M-80s, M-100s, and homemade or modified fireworks are felony offenses, and violators will face criminal prosecution. “The fireworks ban is in place to protect citizens and their property, and it is working,” Mark Peterson, Fire Chief/Emergency Services Administrator said in a press release. “Since 2005, we have seen a significant reduction in the number of painful injuries and costly property losses related to the use of fireworks.” Officials are particularly concerned this year.

Not Coming When Called? when he reaches you. Reward him profusely with praise, petting and treats. Make coming a pleasant experience. Teaching a sit in front will help your dog learn to stop when he gets to you (instead of running past, playing keep away, etc.). Add distractions to simulate real-life situations. Give your dog permission to get distracted by a neighbor, toy, food, etc. that you have prearranged. During the distraction, call your dog and use your leash to bring him to you. Have him sit in front. Reward him. Wait a few seconds and then give him permission to get involved with the distraction again. Your goal is for your dog to leave the distraction and come to you on the first command. A reliable recall can take many months of training, especially with adolescent canines. Be patient and consis-
By Kathy Lang, Family Dog Training Center
Nothing is more frustrating than a dog who won’t come when called. Whether Fido is loose in his fenced yard or at the dog park, a reliable off-leash recall is a necessity. Follow these tips for recall success: Select one special word that means “Come on the first command, regardless of the distractions!” If your dog has already learned to ignore your current word, begin fresh with a new one. Remove the option of not coming. Use a leash or long line attached to Fido’s collar for recall training. Preface the command with his name, give him one second to respond, and then use gentle pressure on the line to bring him to you. Be sure to have your dog sit
Heat Stroke
Heatstroke may kill or seriously injure your pet - but it can easily be avoided. Never leave pets in cars on warm days; exercise during the cool part of the day; look for rapid breathing;loud panting; or staggering. Professional help may be needed, but in the meantime quickly get the animal to a shady ventilated area, and sponge off with cool water.
Rabies
Rabies is a fatal viral infection that is transmitted primarily through bite wounds. Skunks, bats, raccoons, and foxes are the primary carriers. Rabies is also fatal to humans, there has been only one case of a person surviving rabies when treatment was started after clinical signs were present. Puppies are vaccinated when three to four months of age and then one year later. Each state varies in its rabies law, most states require rabies vaccine every three years for adult pets, but some states still require them annually. If a person or a pet is bitten by an unknown or unvaccinated animal(dog, cat, or wild animal), the local health department or your veterinarian should be consulted. The animal that bit should be apprehended, if possible, and your veterinarian or local health official should be contacted immediately. A test can be done to see if rabies is present, but it does require the animal be euthanized because the test can be done only on the brain. Rabies is preventable through regular vaccination of dogs and cats.

4th of July Tips for Pet Owners By Kathy Lang, Family Dog Training Center
For many dogs the Fourth of July is a traumatic day filled with flashes and booms. Extremely frightened dogs may run away. To keep pets safe, many professionals suggest the following: Consult your veterinarian before the fireworks begin. Confirm that your pet is microchipped, and the contact info is current. Obtain any medications that might be helpful. Be sure your pet’s ID tag is up-todate and you have recent, clear photos of Fido in the event your dog is lost. Exercise and feed your dog before the fireworks begin. Put Fido “to bed” early -- with a new chew bone or stuffed hard rubber toy. If your dog is crate trained, use it. If not, make sure your dog’s bed is in a room where you can close the windows, turn on fans, a radio or TV to block out the noise and flashes of light. DO NOT take your dog outside during the fireworks. You never know what might fly through the air and land in your yard or at your feet. If your dog DOES need to go outside, make it a quick potty stop -- on leash (yes, on-leash, even in your own back yard) -and then back inside. DO NOT take your dog to a public fireworks display. You may think your dog will be fine, but it only takes a moment for something traumatic to happen. You suddenly have a frightened dog who may try to escape or act aggressively out of fear. The next morning be sure to walk your yard and pick up any paper, plastic and other debris that flew through the air and landed in your yard. Have a safe and sane Fourth of July with your four-legged friends.

Renton Little League wins both majors and minors division at championship tournament BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
For the first time since 2008, the Renton Little League baseball program has won back-to-back championships at the “majors” and “minors” level. This past weekend at the District 7 championships, the Renton “majors” baseball team the Reds defeated Pacwest Little League last weekend to take the title and “minors” team the Bulls won the championship over South Highline National Little League. But that wasn’t all. Renton’s “majors” softball team, the Huskies, also did well in the tournament, finishing second to the South Highline National Little League team.

The Seahawks 12K Run this past spring was so well-attended, The Landing was able to donate to four different organizations including The Pete & Glena Carroll Family Fund which supports “A Better Seattle” (ABS), the Friends of Renton Schools Foundation, Communities in Schools Foundation, and Operation Military Family. “When everyone comes together to support our amazing football team, have fun themselves, and support our community, it’s incredible to be a part of,” Rod Swift of JSH Properties, the property manager of The Landing, said in a press release. The Pete & Glena Carroll Family Fund supports “A Better Seattle” (ABS). This organization is led by Pete Carroll to reduce and prevent youth gang violence in the greater Seattle area. ABS oversees the deployment of YMCA of Seattle’s Alive & Free
professional trained street outreach workers who serve youth impacted by gangs, violence and the juvenile justice system in South King County. “Friends of Renton Schools Foundation” was developed to provide supplemental funding to support the Renton School District so that every student in every school has an opportunity to achieve an exceptional education. Donations help provide at-risk kids with school supplies as needed. “Communities in Schools” also helps school children in the Renton area. CIS is a drop-out prevention organization that helps with community support of all kinds so that kids can stay in school. One of their highly-praised programs is the Mentor Program, with adults helping kids one-onone with various subjects. Operation Military Family’s “OMF Cares” helps both active and retired military families find resources in our community – whether it’s employment, housing, health, or family issues. OMF Cares’ vision is to help those who have served selflessly on behalf of our country.
